Chapter 1376: Maybe He’s a Person Who Bends with the Wind

The two kids came to the balcony, which had a chair set against the wall. Wu Yueling carried Teng and sat down as she asked the boy, “Where is Mama now?”

Teng pointed a finger ahead and said, “She’s miles away from the gate of the base.”

“Miles… How far away is that?” Wu Yueling asked curiously. She was barely seven years old. She didn’t yet have a clear understanding of a ‘mile’.

Teng thought for a moment and then explained, “Em… it’ll take a couple of minutes driving and about an hour walking.”

Wu Yueling nodded without fully understanding his words. “So, will Mama be back in a couple of minutes?” she asked another question.

Teng shook his head and said, “Mm, I guess she’ll first go to her office instead. Maybe she won’t come back here until it’s dark.”

While speaking, he pointed at the sky, which had started getting dark already. The sun had just sunk and the sky was still bright.

“Oh.” Learning that she might not see Lin Qiao until it was dark, Wu Yueling pouted and murmured with disappointment.

At that moment, Wu Chengyue came out of the kitchen while wearing an apron, asking Teng while wiping his hands with a towel, “How do you know that your Mama is back? Why didn’t I sense her coming?”

Teng gave him a glance and then said, “Because she gave birth to me, that’s why I know. She didn’t give birth to you, so you don’t know!”

Wu Chengyue first looked at him speechlessly and then smiled awkwardly, “Oh, I see.”

No joke! He definitely did not want to be Lin Qiao’s son. He intended to be her man!

Wu Yueling looked at Wu Chengyue with confusion and then at Teng. She didn’t understand their conversation at all. Seeing the look on her face, Teng couldn’t help but reach out a hand and pinch her cheek gently, “Oh, Ling Ling will understand when she gets older.”

Wu Chengyue looked outside the base and said with a slight frown, “Isn’t it too soon for her to come back? It has only been about two weeks, but she’s come out already. Did she manage to figure out what’s happening down underground within such a short time?”

Teng folded his arms before his chest as he thought for a moment and then said, “Well, Mama came back earlier than I expected. So, there are two possibilities. One, she has got the answer she was looking for, or two, there was an accident that caused her to come out ahead of schedule.”

Wu Chengyue gave the boy a smiling glance and said, “Yes, you’re right. Those are probably the only two possibilities. Teng is very smart.”

On hearing the sudden compliment, Teng immediately raised his chin and said with a proud face, “Of course! I’m not just some ordinary boy!”

“Alright, whatever is the reason, we’ll know when she gets home. Come on, wash your hands, let’s have dinner.” Wu Chengyue lifted the proud little boy and said. He was a little worried at that moment.

‘Will this kid grow into a girl?’ he thought.

Thankfully, Teng was only able to read his mother’s mind but not his father’s. If he knew what his father was thinking at the moment, he would probably cough some blood and then bite his father with anger.

Lin Qiao came back to learn that Lin Feng and the others had caught some moles.

“Good job! Who are those people?” She sat down behind her desk and asked with curiosity. It was a normal thing that moles existed in a base, so she wasn’t surprised. Catching moles was a part of Lin Feng’s job, but still, she wanted to give him the compliment for doing his job with such high efficiency.

“Some among the last few batches to join our base. Most of them are from Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base. Um… but this Lu Meiqing is from Hades Base.” Duan Juan was standing before he desk and reading the report. She paused briefly when she read Lu Meiqing’s file.

Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “What’s so strange about that? Anyone can choose the side that’s the best for themselves. Maybe she finds our place to not be good enough and wants to go somewhere better. That’s normal.”

That was not a strange thing at all. Many would make that kind of choice.

While reading the last part of the report, Duan Juan said with a weird look on her face, “Oh, there was a mysterious person who secretly delivered a message to Deputy Chief Lin. We don’t know who that person is yet.”

On hearing that, Lin Qiao looked at her with surprise and said, “Are you saying that one of those people sold the others out? Did they know that they were betrayed by one of their own?”

That was interesting! It was like a double betrayal.

Duan Juan shook her head and said, “I guess they don’t know that someone has sold them out. Deputy Chief Lin and his men are looking for that person now. I guess they’re trying to find out if he’s one of those that got caught this time.”

Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said, “I guess that person is a rather capable one. He’s been such a successful double-sided spy.”

He sent messages to Lin Feng, but the latter didn’t know who he was. It was possible that Lin Feng didn’t try to find out who he was because he intended to show the man some respect,.

What was the purpose of that person?

Lin Qiao spent a few seconds thinking and then asked another question, “Was that person’s messages the only source that allowed us to find out what those people wanted?”

Duan Juan handed the report to Lin Qiao after finishing reading and responded, “I’m more curious about why the person chose to do that. He leaked the message before those people took action. But, he wasn’t the one who exposed the existence of those moles. Instead, it was Xiaolu. Maybe the man chose to be on our side to survive.”

If that were the truth, the person should not be allowed to stay in the base. Maybe he’d change his mind again someday and choose to stand with other people.

Lin Qiao took over the report and started reading. In the meanwhile, she nodded and said, “Perhaps. Maybe he discovered that he and his people were exposed already. It’s understandable that he changed his side under that circumstance.”

People like that would bend with the wind.

While the two of them were talking, Lin Wenwen received the news that Lin Qiao brought back, and also heard that Yuan Tianxing had already woken up.

“Really? He’s woken up? Great!” She finally stopped worrying and grinned with relief.
